*labeled this week as vegetation by accident and can't change it. oops*
Started the week off on Sunday by watering each plant with 3/4 gallon each, full week 6 nutrients. Removed just a few discolored leaves towards the bottoms. On Tuesday I trimmed up all the new growth from the pruned areas that I had already done on the lower portion of the plants. Wednesday they were ready for feeding again. Knowing that I'm doing another flush at the end of next week, I did another nutrient feeding instead of plain water. Trying to schedule my feedings and the flush ahead of time and get the timing just right. On Thursday just mins before lights out I did a foliar feed. Sprayed 16oz overall 8. So roughly 2oz per plant. On Saturday they were hungry again. I did another 3/4 gallon per plant with nutrients. Being the end of the week I went ahead and did week 7 on the nutrient schedule. I'll put that amount in next week when I update. Ended the week on Saturday night by removing a few more dying leaves and a few large fan leaves. Overall they are looking very healthy. They only grew about 4" this week. I'm hoping that they are done going up and will now put more energy into filling in and growing the buds. I don't know the phenom of these clones, so I'm just hoping for the best. I was told they were Wedding Cake but I don't know the history at all. If they don't turn out great, no worries, I have an entirely new strain getting ready to hit the soil soon.
I think these have nitrogen toxicity, wondering what others think? Yellowing of some leaves, I noticed the clawing in some upper leaves. Buds don't seem to be growing much. Any thoughts?
It's hard to say when the pictures are under that light, try to take pictures under normal lighting for better diagnosis.
From what I can tell in these pictures there's actually a Nitrogen (N) abundance and some Phosphorous(P)/Potassium (K) deficiencies which may also be the cause of your buds' poor development (a picture showing where the leaves yellowing is the worst would really help!)
Hope this helps! Good luck and happy growing :)
Nitrogen Toxicity/Abundance, I believe is my problem. As suggested by BluntZilla in my other question it could be lacking P and K as well. Here are pictures under normal lighting in hopes that someone can help out.
Theyre not showing any signs of other deficiencies/toxicities at the moment just the Nitrogen abundance mentioned.
Yes lower the "Grow" or the Nitrogen source in your fertilizer by about 50% but never stop it completely since it may cause a shock and unnecessary stress!
Keep a close eye at your plants and adjust the fertilizing accordingly! if the color goes back to normal then stay at that diet with a slow increase, and if they start showing deficiencies then increase the nutrients accordingly!
Hope this helps! Good luck and happy growing :)
Great job bro the only thing id change is I would definitely look into getting your self an LEP lamp it would replace all those leds be cheaper to run not as hot as HID but gives you super lumens with the spectrum of led it would have doubled your yield easy and you'd only need one from GAVITA 1930lep
@EasyRaider, definitely man PH and sanitation and pest control are the things that are usually overlooked but stillgreatly important to the plants health almost as much as the light lmao happy growing man keep it
@GACiNATI, That would be great, and probably a great upgrade in the future. I would need two for the coverage space that I would need. Actually, four of them for how I plan to set the room up. As things progress, lights will definitely be upgraded.
Learned a lot from this grow. The nutrient problem was probably more of a pH problem. I just found that my pH meter was a full point off. The buds have been stalled since halfway through flower, and I'm pretty sure pH and nutrient issues were a big problem. Need to make sure to fix those problems for the next grow. Also trying autos for the next run, and a different nutrient line. But yes, lights are a must upgrade.
